Netrani Island Package 2026: Scuba, Boat & Stay Options

A Netrani Island package from Murudeshwar costs ₹1,500 to ₹3,500 per person, depending on whether you snorkel, scuba dive, or ride along on the boat. The scuba dive is one all-in package at ₹3,500 per person (regular rate ₹6,000), and first-timers and non-swimmers do that same dive with an instructor holding them. Every package is a full sea day: the boat covers about 19 km each way, roughly an hour each side, and you are back by afternoon. There is no overnight stay on Netrani itself, so you sleep in Murudeshwar town.

Below are the three options with their inclusions, ready-made combos for couples, families and friends, and the honest answer on staying near the island. Before you pick a date, check the Netrani scuba diving timings for your travel day.

●Netrani Island Packages 2026: Price and Inclusions

Package	Price per person	Time in water	Inclusions	Best for
Netrani Scuba Dive	₹3,500 (regular ₹6,000)	Depends on comfort: first-timers often ~15–20 min, comfortable divers up to ~30–40 min; depth up to ~12 m	Boat ride, scuba gear, briefing + shallow practice, instructor-guided dive, underwater photos/videos	First-timers, non-swimmers and certified divers, age 10+
Snorkelling	₹1,500	About 1 hour at the surface	Boat ride, mask, snorkel, life jacket, guidance (confirm full inclusions)	Kids, families, non-divers
Passenger (boat only)	₹1,999	No water activity	Boat trip to Netrani and back	Grandparents, partners who won't get in

All prices are the published rates on this site. The price you are quoted on WhatsApp should match, and it should be the all-in number: the boat, gear, instructor and photos are already inside the scuba price, so nothing is added at the jetty.

Netrani Scuba Dive: one package, beginners included

There is a single Netrani scuba diving package at ₹3,500 per person, down from the regular ₹6,000. You get the boat to Netrani, a briefing and shallow-water practice, then an instructor-guided dive with photos and videos. How long you stay underwater depends on your comfort and the sea that day, not on what you paid: first-timers often spend about 15–20 minutes below, and comfortable divers can stay up to about 30–40 minutes. Depth goes up to about 12 m, decided by the instructor. Nobody can honestly promise a fixed number of minutes before seeing you in the water.

First time? It is the same dive

If you have never dived, read what your first scuba dive at Netrani feels like. You do the same ₹3,500 dive with an instructor holding you and controlling your depth. Many non-swimmers do it after a briefing and suitability check, though acceptance is not automatic and you can stop anytime.

Snorkelling and Passenger seats

Snorkelling at ₹1,500 lets children and non-divers see the reef from the surface. Read the full guide to snorkeling at Netrani, including age guidance. The ₹1,999 passenger seat is the full boat trip with no water activity, ideal for someone who wants the island view and to be with the group.

A small honest tip: if someone is riding along anyway, snorkelling costs less than a boat-only seat (₹1,500 vs ₹1,999), includes the same boat ride, and gets them in the water. If they are comfortable in a life jacket, it is the better deal.

Who Should Choose Which Option?

Traveller	Best pick	Why
First-timer or non-swimmer aged 10+	Netrani Scuba Dive (₹3,500)	Instructor holds you, you go at your own pace
Child, or adult not ready to breathe underwater	Snorkelling (₹1,500)	Surface view of the reef with a life jacket
Companion who won't get in the water	Passenger seat (₹1,999)	Same boat, island views, stays with the group

At the regular ₹6,000 rate, six divers would pay ₹36,000; at the season price it is ₹21,000. The advance is ₹500 per person and is paid only after written confirmation. For a family of four, that is ₹2,000; the balance is paid on the trip day.

●Can You Stay on Netrani Island?

No. Netrani Island is uninhabited and has no resort, hotel or homestay. All trips are day trips: the boat leaves Murudeshwar in the morning and returns by afternoon. Searches for a "Netrani Island resort" usually lead to hotels in Murudeshwar, Bhatkal or nearby coastal towns.

The practical plan is to stay in Murudeshwar town, close to the jetty and the temple, so you can report early without a long drive. You can compare stays at Murudeshwar rooms, or plan hotel and taxi help on murudeshwar.co.in.

Suggested two-day plan:

Day 1: arrive by train (Murudeshwar station is about 2 km from the temple) or road, check in, visit the temple and beach in the evening
Day 2: report early for the Netrani trip, back by afternoon, rest, and leave in the evening or stay another night

●Netrani Island Tour Package for Groups

Groups of 10 or more should use the group and bulk scuba booking page for a date-specific quote. Share the date, guest count, how many will dive, snorkel or ride along, ages, water-comfort details and arrival plan. The written quote should state the boat seats, final rate and inclusions before any payment. A private boat or special setup needs a separate agreement.

Groups do best when each person chooses their own option. Everyone who dives books the same ₹3,500 package, and the instructors adjust the dive for each person's comfort; under-10s and anyone not ready can snorkel. Split the choices clearly when booking so check-in is quick.

●What Is Not Included

travel to Murudeshwar
hotel stay
meals before or after the trip (confirm any refreshments on the boat when booking)
private local transport unless arranged separately

●How to Compare Netrani Packages Honestly

Some listings show lower headline prices. That can be a weekday-only or promotional rate, a price that leaves out the boat, photos or briefing, or a shorter time underwater. Before you compare, check:

Is the Netrani boat ride included?
How many minutes are you actually underwater?
Are photos and videos included or charged later?
Is an instructor with beginners in the water?
Is the refund rule for weather cancellation clear?

Our answers: the boat, gear, briefing, instructor-guided dive and photos/videos are inside the ₹3,500 scuba price (regular ₹6,000), underwater time depends on your comfort and is explained honestly in the table, and a weather cancellation means a 100% refund or a date change. Then compare the all-in number.

●Book Your Netrani Package

Booking takes three steps and no payment upfront. WhatsApp your date and who is diving, snorkelling or riding along, get written confirmation of the slot, total price and reporting time, then pay the advance. If weather cancels the trip, you get a 100% refund or a date change. The season closes with the monsoon, and weekend and holiday morning boats fill first, so lock in the ₹3,500 season price by confirming your date.
